Morals, law, and authority

This book aims at analysis in depth of the question of morals, law and authority; by no means exhaustive, since each chapter could be extended into a book in its own right, but at least exploratory. The analysis concerns, in turn, the sources of moral teaching in the Church, the arguments by which it is recommended and the ideas and terms in which it is clothed, the manner in which it is imposed and received and finally, the positive advantages which the Church can claim to possess in the moral quest of mankind.
